Probably not man. I was at that stage once but glandular fever knocked me back a few pegs. 260 would still be a massive pb and I think there is a chance I can get it. It will be my 3rd attwmpt if all goes to plan.

Wick it was from speed squats. It is like tendonitis on the outside of the calf in the way it feels. It was caused by practicing rather extreme stretch reflex out of the bottom. It was still bad tonight and cut my session short but not as bad. Definitely getting better.

Hey guys
So last Feb I found a small hole/hernia just above my belly button. Its 5x8mm and doc said I may have always had it and should be OK to train. I got scared and decided to stop lifting until I got it fixed (got insurance in march so won't be fixed until at least march next year.

Anyway I lost too much size and strength for my liking so I have started some training again. I am sticking to sets of 8 mostly to keep stress in the mid to low range but to hopefully maintain some muscle. I'm actually a little surprised about the small amount of strength I have maintained while dropping over 10kg.
